Common Name:
IE setSlice()
Date Disclosed:

Date Patched:
10/10/2006
Vendor:
Microsoft
Application:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows 2003
Description:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists within Internet Explorer which may allow for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the logged in user. This vulnerability requires minimal user-interaction.
Severity:
High
Code Execution:
Yes
Impact:
Arbitrary code execution under the context of the logged in user
A web browser remote code execution vulnerability has a very high impact since the source of the malicious payload can be any site on the Internet. An even more critical problem is generated when clients are administrators on their local hosts, which would run the malicious payload with Administrator credentials.
Mitigation:
Since this vulnerability is patched, the primary mitigation for this vulnerability would be to apply MS05-057. However, other mitigation is available by kill-bitting the CLSIDs for the Windows Shell ActiveX (e5df9d10-3b52-11d1-83e8-00a0c90dc849 and 844F4806-E8A8-11d2-9652-00C04FC30871) following the directions of KB240797.
